5 Ingredient Raspberry Cheese Cake Cookies
One of my favorite desserts is cheesecake because it’s dreamy, rich and creamy. This cookie is like a lighter, bite size BETTER version of our classic cake, but made simply (and deliciously). You don’t need to eat a whole slice of cheesecake to get the feel and vibe for it. Although that is phenomenal too.
If you know me, you know I love my few ingredient recipes. Those recipes make life easy when you need a sweet treat for yourself or to bring to a get together. The best situation is when you have all of the ingredients on hand and are ready to bake. So basically, cream cheese, butter, sugar, flour and raspberry jam and you got this one on lock.
If you have these few ingredients, all you need is a little time in your schedule. But it’s mostly down time since mixing the batter is done in 5 minutes. The only caveat is that refrigeration time of 1 or 2 hours. Once that’s done, you roll out those cookie balls, push down a thumb print (I used the back of a 1/2 teaspoon spoon) and fill them with a little jelly. Bake em up and enjoy!

These are literally my favorite cookies ever right now! I can’t believe how good they came out! I was skeptical at first because they didn’t have any egg but they came out perfect. I added a small hint of vanilla and lemon and they were amazing. Thank you for the recipe. This one is a keeper!
Hi Cassandra, glad you like them so much! And thanks for the glowing review!
Once the cookies are baked. Will they need to be refrigerated? I had an overflow of jam, was messy , but was like fruit roll ups!
HI Sue, you can leave them out or refrigerate. I just leave em out in an air tight container. They don’t last long lol
Delicious!!
Glad you liked the cookies!
Can I make the dough the night before?! 🙂
Easy to make and sooooo good!
Hi LIz, glad you liked the cookies and thanks so much for the review!
I made these the other day using gluten free flour, Namaste brand. They turned out wonderful! I’m getting ready to make another batch now. This time I’m going to add a bit of fresh lemon juice and zest to the batter. Can’t wait to see how they turn out. Thanks for the simple recipe, it is delightful!
Hi Christina, the lemon cookies version sound INCREDIBLE! Hope they were enjoyed!
Delicious!! Easy too !! A favorite!!
Hi Patricia, glad they were enjoyed!
Can I refrigerate the dough overnight?
Why no eggs?
Not needed here!
I used this recipe for a Christmas treat for my co-workers and they loved it! I used apricot, lemon curd, pineapple preserves, and strawberry preserves for the center of the cookies and they were a big hit. Thank you for sharing this recipe. The biggest compliment I got on it was that this recipe was delicious without being overly sweet like most cookies can be.
Hi Tammy, Sounds so good with all the different flavors- well done! Yes I also hate it when desserts are TOO sugary!!
I lost track of time. Can you refrigerate overnight?

Hi Sommer, Thanks so much for trying them out! Glad you liked them!
Super easy and delicious recipe. Adding these cookies to my repertoire!
Hi Gaby, SO glad you enjoyed the cookie and they are going on repeat! CHEERS!
For me, the dough came out great, but the preserves flattened and flowed out all over the outside of the cookie. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Julie, its most likely the consistency of the preserves. Or maybe it was sitting out on the counter too long… I use Crofters brand raspberry preserves..love it!
